The name of the testator is in Bold Type; those persons bear- 
ing relationship to the testator, if stated in the will, are in bold 
type also. All others are in Eoman Type. The county of testator 
follows the name in the same line if it is given in the will itself, and 
if none appears in the abstract the inference must be drawn that it is 
lacking in the will. 

The dates of drawing and of the probate of each are placed one 
above the other, opposite the name of testator; that of probate under 
that of drawing. If either date does not appear in the Calendar a 
line of dashes is placed in the respective place to indicate the fact 
that it is lacking in the will as recorded, and if, as is the case in a 
few instances, neither date or drawing nor that of probate appears 
in the will, a double line of dashes is substituted. 

The numbers at the foot of each abstract give the number of the 
book and the page from which it has been taken. The book numbers 
and not the old liber numbers are used, this being in accordance with 
the system usual with genealogists in making notes from these books. 

It will be seen that in many instances overseers or trustees are 
named by testators. The custom now being obsolete it is best ex- 
plained by a quotation from one of the wills where a testator, after 
designating several friends for the office, adds: 'Vho shall assist the 
executrix in the' care of the estate that neither she nor the children 
be wronged.'' 

Nimc. placed after a name indicates that the will was a nimcupa- 
tive one. 

Yoimg. is used in the calendar as the abbreviation of youngest. 

Test., the abbreviation of testis and testes, has been adopted in 
accordance with the custom of the times rather than the more modem 
term of witnesses. The other abbreviations and terms are so simple 
that explanation of them seems needless, since they do not differ from 
those in ordinary use.
